As a studio we aim to interpret space through the lens of lighting, design fixtures and installations that can capture our imagination and inspire us in these spaces. Working on both ends of the designspectrum, from single pieces, made together with craftsmen to mass-produced objects developed in collaboration with the manufacturers; the studio is not defined by a particular style, but rather by questioning objects while considering their context and cultural associations embedded in them.HOW WE WORKWe take care of each project phase, from on-site visits, exploratory studies, design, and technical drawings to the final production and space atmosphere. Depending on the commission, we either design with a specific space in mind, or we work detached from it, sometimes resulting in a productusable in various spaces. The final product and accessories are always produced in ourmanufactory, and therefore quality-certified.
